I dug a little 1/10 acre pond a few weeks ago and dropped a few brook trout in it to see how they fair and was feeding them pellets.
Today I bought two pounds of fatheads to dump in there and see what happens. All I can say is I understand why everyone says they wont last in a pond too long once predators are introduced. It was a feeding frenzy! Those trout are on the bottom of the pond now with round bellies. I think they ate more than half of the fatheads in under 20 minutes.

Dreaming of the pond!
